Water blast at hotel
By Matt Ford A water pipe exploded in a Benalmadena hotel producing a violent and spectacular 10-metre-high geyser which flooded the grounds, a restaurant, the lobby and a number of rooms. The 9am blowout caused extensive damage to the Hotel Los Patos on Tuesday October 4 and forced staff to evacuate parts of the packed 300-room premises, which currently houses 720 tourists including many British families. Spanish reports state that no one was injured but EWN was

contacted by one patron who told us his pregnant wife had suffered a fractured arm and had to be taken to hospital following the blast. Guests eating breakfast received the biggest shock, as water began to surge at force through the windows prompting the startled diners to charge outside. Police and firefighters were quickly on the scene, and working alongside technicians from water supply firm Acosol they managed to reduce the pressure and drain inundated areas within a few hours.
The blast of high-pressure water from the metre-wide pipe reached the fifth floor, and the town hall said the fault will result in cuts throughout Benalmadena Costa and Arroyo de la Miel until at least Friday, while repairs to the hotel are also likely to take several days. A great deal of the flood water was discharged via a local stream, the Arroyo de la Vega, causing an extensive plume of dirty fresh water to appear on the surface of the sea. The pipeline in question connects the La Concepcion dam at Istan to Malaga City, al-
though it is now used only to supply Benalmadena. It is said to be more than 30 years old, and the Acosol technicians reported that the rupture was not suspicious, having been generated by excessive pressure.

A personal thank you from Michel Euesden… I AM back! Not completely tiptop but getting there. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their good wishes and kind thoughts over the last few weeks. A period of illness always knocks you sideways whether expecting it or not. A special thanks must go Helicopteros Sanitarios who responded with
expediency and professionalism from the moment I entered ICU until my departure - which could not come quickly enough! They are without doubt responsible for my recovery and Steven and I cannot thank them enough. It’s not been easy, but I’m getting there. Finally a special thanks to my fantastic EWN family who have covered for me excellently and proved to me again how lucky I am to work with the best team in the business. Getting back into the swing of things is great. Once again, thanks to everyone who kept me in their thoughts; family, friends and my brilliant clients who after 20 years have become personal friends, and of course, you, our EWN readers. Your support to Steven and myself is appreciated in a way words cannot express. The flowers and gifts were wonderful to receive. Lots of love, Michel X.
THANKS: For all the kind thoughts.

Proposed TV series provokes an outcry By Matt Ford
WITH weekly drugs busts involving significant quantities of narcotics or hashish, the Costa del Sol evidently remains a happy hiding ground for many traffickers and other criminals, whose presence gave rise to the notorious ‘Costa del Crime’ moniker three decades ago. Now, a future television project from Warner Bros in association with Spanish channel Telecinco, which is owned by Italian media giant Mediaset, has set alarm bells ringing in town halls from Malaga to Marbella. The fictional series will focus on drug trafficking in the 1970s and its working title is ‘Costa del Sol,’ with the news already causing much gnashing of teeth within the local tourism sector. It will apparently be based on real
events f r o m that period, focusing on a Local Police anti-drugs unit who operated without today’s technological advances. Miguel Sanchez, president of the Tourism Council of the Andalucian Confederation of Businessmen, could hardly contain his outrage as he yelled, “This shows a blatant lack of respect for a brand recognised internationally as a destination renowned for its excellence in tourism, not by having links to drug trafficking!”

Spanish corruption: Bad and getting worse By Matthew Elliott SPAIN is the most corrupt country in the entire EU. It accounts for most of the €120 billion that either seeps away from the EU’s coffers or is never returned, and the problem is getting worse. Some will say, a la Nigel Farage, that the EU itself is a poorly regulated body, whose audited accounts have been delayed for years, and where officials appointed to public office can latch themselves onto a gravy train that meanders slowly but inexorably along. Maybe so. But another group has now joined the Commission in issuing a damning indictment of Spanish public political life. The authoritative Berlin-based group, Transparency International (TI), says Spain’s problem is bad and getting worse. Although not painted in the dark red of Somalia or Russia on TI’s corruption perception map, Spain is a deep orange blotch on an otherwise yellow western Europe, rivalled only by Italy in the shady sweepstakes. Two years ago prime minister Mariano Rajoy told the nation that “there is no such thing as generalised corruption,” offering no prizes for viewers who correctly guessed the operative word. Since then his administration and the wider country has been rocked by a relentless wave of corruption scandals brazen enough to raise the eyebrows of even the most seasoned Spanish observers. There was the PP leader filmed counting wads of cash after accepting party financing in exchange for construction contracts: the top banker blowing €15 million on lavish company expenses: the kickback scheme masterminded by a politician who insisted on being called Don Vito in tribute to The God-
father. You had the fantastical tale of Carlos Fabra, who refuses to be seen without his sunglasses on, who spent more than €10,000 of public funds building a statue of himself, and claimed to have won the lottery four times when questioned over money laundering allegations, and who was once dubbed a “model citizen” by Rajoy. Next month one of the biggest corruption scandals in history, the Gurtel case, will finally go to
trial but as any long-term expat will tell you such national humiliations are just the tip of a very deep iceberg. Hardly a week goes by without a mayor landing themselves in hot water over some racket or another. Football, property, banks, construction, public contracts, campaign financing, water, electricity. It’s hard to name a single facet of Spanish life which isn’t affected by corruption in one way or another. Take the spectacular case of Isabel Pantoja. A prodigious singing talent as a child, Pantoja stole the heart of the nation and sold millions of albums, bringing flamenco back into the main stream. An Andalucian of gypsy descent, she married the most iconic bullfighter of the era, Francisco Rivera, and became the ‘widow of Spain’ after he was gored to death in the ring. Yet perhaps the most stereotypically Spanish part of her life story was Pantoja’s involvement in the notorious Malaya case, which has so far seen billions seized from moneylaundering councilmen, business leaders and lawyers. She was romantically involved with disgraced former Marbella mayor Julian Munoz, who is still languishing in prison for his role in the affair. Corruption simply seems to be part and parcel of life in Spain, which is all well and good until it hits you in the pocket, or makes your own waking life a nightmare.

Your papers, your views Our readers have been expressing their views about the latest EU developments which appeared on our website.
www.euroweeklynews.com Here are a few of your comments some of which have had to be cut due to size but we are always happy to hear from everyone.
Facts of life WHAT makes Spain different from other EU countries, where corruption is certainly rife, is that it is simply part of everyday life. Even children’s football matches are rigged, and of course these kids grow up thinking that bribery and back scratching is entirely normal. Some of them end up controlling the fates of millions of people and don’t think twice about lining their own pockets. Jim
They all do it IS it really so bad here? Or are they just terribly obvious? I’m pretty sure that we have similar problems back home in the UK, they’re just far better at it. Surely the Panama Papers showed that British politicians are just as corrupt as their banana republic counterparts? The problem Spain has is that bribery is considered so normal no one even bothers to hide it! Susanne
Ghost rule CORRUPTION and Spain are seemingly two interchangeable words. The ghosts of Franco’s era still rule. Especially with the squabbling politicians taking something approaching a whole year to form any semblance of a democratically elected government while Rajoy and co sit on the fence raking in the money for doing next to nothing. It would be funny if it wasn’t so serious. Brian
It’s farcical
Isabel Pantoja: ‘Widow of Spain’
It’s hard to name a single facet of Spanish life which isn’t affected by corruption in one way or another.”
NOTHING a team of top lawyers couldn’t have sorted out. Corrupt is just the word we give to people who weren’t smart enough to properly cover their tracks. The whole system is corrupted. You have two political parties with the same policies who went to the same schools and grew up in the same areas swapping power every few years and calling it democracy. Kevin

City to host global economy event By Simon Firth MALAGA is to play host to an event of global significance in April 2017 when proponents of a new economic order meet to press their case to world governments. Their aim, say the New Economy and Social Innovation (NESI) Global Forum, is to build a more sustainable, social, fair and collaborative economy oriented towards what its supporters call the “common good.”
Events are already on the calendar in London, Barcelona, Madrid, Brussels and Rio de Janeiro, but the finale will see Malaga host five days of meetings next year. Organisers envisage companies, social entrepreneurs, activists, public administrations, universities and nongovernmental organisations taking part in an event that is also certain to boost the city’s hotel and tourism trades. The objective is nothing less than persuading govern-
ments around the world to “build a new economy and work towards a more sustainable society.” At the end of the five days, April 19 to 23, they hope to have created a Manifesto committing governments to future ways of working and interacting. But this document will also have the input of thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands, of ordinary people who are being invited to put forward their ideas for the future.
Director of the Global Hub for the Common Good Foundation, Diego Isabel de la Moneda, said: “Environmental damage does not allow us any more delays. Inequality is getting bigger and citizens are even more conscious that political decisions are conditioned by markets and financial systems they did not choose. “It is time to change and there are realistic proposals that can already be started and implemented.”

The stubborn rain free skies THE disturbing data keeps rolling in. A meteorological report for the summer found that Malaga Province witnessed the sixth driest in recorded history. The last three years now rank among the highest since data was first collected in 1942. With the hydrological year ending on September 30, climate experts remain confounded by what course of action to take. Despite their local expertise, complex measurements, and alarming discoveries, there is very little they can do to open the skies. Almost three fifths of Malaga Province’s reservoirs lie empty as drought continues to threaten the region’s long-term health. Data now confirms that the province’s supplies have reached their lowest ebb in eight years as sporadic rainfall and a lack of organisational vision bedevil efforts to salvage water for drinking and irrigation. The emphasis is now on damage control. Short of investing billions of euros into making the Costa del Sol a Spanish Dubai, more effective irrigation, water saving measures, public awareness and a decreased reliance on agriculture will be necessary if the province is to survive. Drastic action is also required to update, renovate and modernise Malaga’s faltering water infrastructure and the regional authorities must decide where the money will come from and how to spend it wisely.

Junta fail to accept outstanding tax debt
POST OFFICE: The old building is to be seized. By Matt Ford THE Junta de Andalucia has responded to Malaga Provincial Council’s decision to seize the old post office building in the wake of the unpaid property tax scandal reported in EWN 1630.
The affair has left a raft of local municipalities out of pocket, but the Junta’s local delegate, Jose Luiz Ruiz Espejo, has requested the embargo be lifted. He claims the €8.76 million debt “does not correspond to the Junta, and should have been
cleared prior to the reclamation that has been made.” He added he has instructed debts would only be paid “once they have been confirmed by the relevant departments” of the Junta, and the oldest of them must be analysed first.

Bullitt on the A-7 A DANGEROUS highspeed chase took place on the A-7 motorway as a stolen car containing 600kg of hash fled from a Guardia Civil checkpoint. Police had attempted to stop the car, which was reported stolen in Switzerland, for a minor traffic violation but the driver disobeyed their orders to pull over and instead sped up, recklessly taking off and heading towards Manilva. Police gave chase but the adrenaline rush was short-lived as the car smashed into another vehicle when it screeched into the quiet village. The driver fled the scene but police were compelled to attend to two injured passengers in the innocent vehicle who needed hospital treatment. A huge manhunt was then set up to capture the fugitive.

Scrubland fire under control FEARS were raised when a forest fire in Casares briefly spiralled out of control. Firefighters tackled the blaze on a scrubland patch of the picturesque Costa del Sol town, subduing it in under three hours. The speed and effectiveness of their action camouflaged what was a potentially severe threat to the neighbourhood. Almost 50
firefighters aided by three helicopters and five specialist units were dispatched to the blaze. Strong winds blowing in an easterly direction only served to antagonise the fires, which came as the region prepares for a last bout with a ferocious summer before temperatures chill and the threat abates.

Who will pay for healthcare? BREXIT PAGE By Matthew Elliot and Simon Firth MARCH next year sees the firing of the official starting gun for the Brexit negotiations, according to Theresa May. It is then that the UK government will invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty and start the twoyear countdown to the moment its supporters say heralds a new era of sovereignty. Theresa May admitted on Tuesday the road will be bumpy but some politicians her government will encounter during those two years mean to make it very bumpy indeed. With almost a million British citizens living in the country, and a centuries-old dispute over Gibraltar, Spain is perhaps the UK’s most intimately connected European partner, and the country with the most sway over key elements of the divorce settlement. Boris Johnson’s opposite number in Spain, Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo, has now broached the issue of healthcare. It’s
one of a number of areas giving the expatriate community more than a little cause for concern. Foreign minister Garcia-Margallo has said a deal must be reached with the UK government so that they pay for the healthcare of its citizens living in Spain. According to Spanish news site Estrella Digital, the Spanish minister made his views known at a conference in Alicante. Whether they are his own views or were in fact officially sanctioned, it means a slow but inexorable ramping up of the pressure. He poured cold water on the idea Britain might secure a Canada-style waiver scheme
CAUSE FOR CONCERN: The issue of healthcare was broached.
absolving it of 99 per cent of healthcare tariffs. On Gibraltar, Garcia-Margallo froze out Boris Johnson by sending every other foreign minister in the EU a letter urging them to exclude the issue from wider Brexit talks, allowing it to be handled bilaterally. Spain can then use the Rock as a bargaining chip in direct talks with the UK, and threaten to veto any Brexit deal favourable to British interests, unless it makes some headway with its Gibraltar aspirations.
Academic voices food sector fears AN academic and expert in the agri-food sector has voiced his concerns about the impact of the Article 50 negotiations if the UK is barred from continental markets or any tariffs are prohibitively high. José García Gómez, from Murcia University’s faculty of economics, says the main worry is that the UK ends up signing trade agreements to source agricultural produce from new markets. UK imports from Murcia equate to around €950 million, of which 70 per cent is from the agricultural and related sectors, he says. If the pound declines against the Euro then agriculture and tourism sectors will suffer if the British consumer suffers a fall in spending power. He joins a number of observers and commentators who are warning about the implications for many markets of a British exit from the EU if this is followed by the erection of excessive barriers to UK businesses.

College collapse head defends actions By Simon Firth THE former head of a private sixth form college which went bankrupt has insisted she tried to save it, pouring in “every penny I owned” and cash from family and friends, even though many parents had failed to pay their fees. The European Sixth Form College in Mijas Costa failed to open in September, but Debbie Campbell told EWN she still believed the financial situation could have been turned around prior to August 30 when a staff meeting ended with the decision to close. “I had prepared a proposal that included relevant staff cuts, timetable changes to reduce costs, the appointment of a controller of finance, projections for the forthcoming year and the current debt with the enrolment of 52 students,” she said. But staff had by then lost faith in her leadership “and I proposed that I could no longer remain their leader.” Ms Campbell says she was promised financial support from a source she does not name, but de-

The only other option was insolvency, she says. Ms Campbell said she can understand that “staff and parents were disillusioned and felt deeply let down and I can see how all would view the situation as me being a liar and a cheat. However,
that is far from the truth.” Referring to the examination scandal in which scripts were not submitted on time or work was not even sent to the UK, she admits the examination situation “escalated beyond control and as head I have to
take full responsibility.” But Ms Campbell disputes the claim by at least one of the UK examination boards that scripts were found by examiners who were sent to Spain, in insecure locations. They were kept in the “safe room” and only one package of course work was not there but it was being stored in a locked drawer elsewhere. Ms Campbell ends her statement by saying “I will regret what happened to those I cared for so much for an eternity.” A former student at the college has contacted EWN to praise Ms Campbell’s “caring and encouraging” leadership. He says “everyone was pushed to do their best because the college made you believe in yourself and that you could do your best.” “For every student that has been to the college, no matter what the outcome has recently been, there cannot be any question that the students have always been put first and there has never been anything more than a family environment with the most welcoming nature.”

Down coral beach way MARBELLA will fight ‘tooth and nail’ to maintain pedestrian access to the seafront near Puerto Banus, which has become very popular with tourists and residents alike. The connection to Coral beach has been maintained by repeated extensions, and a wooden walkway was constructed for the 2015 ‘Vuelta a España’ cycle race. But the permit provisionally ends this month, and the city council is scrambling to petition the Andalucian government for permission to extend it for a further four years. The petition has the support of local businesses, the association of beaches, and various resident groups. In fact, the only hurdle is the high costs of maintaining the pathway, but the council expects that a precedent that was set in Estepona, and also the walkway’s undoubted popularity, will help the regional bureaucrats see the light.

Spanish critics roast Oliver’s chorizo paella By Matthew Elliott JAMIE OLIVER has fought the British school establishment, made millions flogging simple recipes, fancy frying pans, and a cheeky smile. But the ‘Naked Chef’ may have bitten off more than he can chew with a controversial take on paella, one of Spain’s fiercely defended national dishes. Taking to his Twitter account Oliver, MBE, Sainsbury’s front-man, and nefarious enemy of vegetarians from Pembrokeshire to Aberdeen, displayed a photo of his new creation, chorizo infused paella. “Good Spanish food doesn’t get much better than paella. My version combines chicken thighs and chorizo.” He wrote, before the inevitable mockery began. Outraged Spanish internet maestros compared his ‘work’ to a botched restoration of a famous fresco of Christ, while others suggested their own takes on classic dishes, including aubergine fish and chips, and croissants with gravy.
UNDER FIRE: Oliver has outraged Spanish internet maestros. What constitutes paella is a sensitive topic even in Spain. Valencians, where the dish originated,

SPANISH police are planning new land and sea searches for the body of 32-year-old Lisa Brown from Alexandria, Dumbartonshire, who went missing from her home in Guadiaro on the Costa del Sol last year. Investigators are to use groundpenetrating radar and specialised aquatic equipment after confirming that a violent altercation occurred between the missing mother-of-one and her 34-year-old boyfriend, Simon Corner. Liverpudlian Corner was apprehended in Denmark under an EU Arrest Warrant in April and extradited to Spain, where he remains imprisoned on suspicion of his partner’s murder. Although Guardia Civil detectives have previously combed woodland and a river near her home, they are now set to intensify their operation after a Madridbased forensic team analysed samples of DNA extracted from bloodstains found at Lisa’s home. They are also planning to analyse data from three mobile phones which the suspect threw
into a Copenhagen harbour prior to his arrest. Inquiries are being coordinated by a San Roque judge, who confirmed that the data on the phones has been recovered having previously been feared lost. Corner was born under the name Dean Woods, but changed it following a series of encounters with British Police, and he was also detained in Gibraltar for possession of an offensive weapon in 2014. He has not yet been formally charged over the current investigation. Six others have been arrested during the ongoing inquiry, including 51-year-old Stephen Jackson, who is currently behind bars in the UK having been jailed in July for trying to smuggle 17 Albanian immigrants into the country. He faces extradition to Spain for questioning, although should this not be possible before the end of his four years and nine months sentence, detectives may fly to England.

Two day torture ordeal over A GANG who kidnapped and tortured a man they suspected of having stolen a drugs shipment has been sentenced to prison. A Malaga court heard how the main defendant lost 15 kilos of hashish at a safehouse in Italy, and had identified the man he believed responsible in the Costa del Sol city. He paid 4,000 euros to hire four oth-
er men, and together they coaxed their prey to a finca in suburban Malaga where they attacked him and demanded either the return of the drugs or 60,000 euros in cash. Over a two-day ordeal they tied him up, covered his mouth and eyes, and cruelly tortured him with torches, shears, and plyers, threatening to cut off certain parts of his body.
Miraculously the man managed to make the most of a rare moment he was left alone, freed his hands and was able to call the police. He was taken to hospital with lesions, bruises, and haemorrhaging in his left eye, but was able to identify his assailants who were promptly arrested. Whether he was, in fact, the hashish thief remains unknown.

Boy to be declared dead A MALAGA court has decided to declare David Guerrero, who went missing from the city 29 years ago, as officially deceased to allow his family to access his father’s assets. Although the missing man’s mother and relatives remain hopeful that David will one day be found, they had no choice but to begin proceedings to have him classed as deceased after his
father’s death as, by law, part of the inheritance could only be accessed by the missing man. “We’ve had to do this because of money and the house. We really don’t want to, but the law is the law,” Antonia Guevara, the missing man’s mother explained. David disappeared at the age of 13 on April 6, 1987.

Wanton water wastage AN environmental group in Torremolinos is asking a very good question. They want to know why the council has been pouring millions of litres of drinkable water into the sea. Not intentionally of course, that would be absurd by any standards, but
the Verde (Green) citizens platform claim that an important aquifer has been leaking for months in the Costa del Sol town. They allege that the Socialist council’s failure to fix the problem is a terrible violation of the Water Act and wastes millions of
litres of water which could be put to good use irrigating farms or within the local community. Until now the government has been unconcerned as the water is not polluted or dangerous but under the right kind of pressure will surely take action soon.

KING’S WALKWAY: Investment is needed to improve its structural integrity.
Cash prize for Caminito By Matthew Elliott A MAJOR lifeline has been handed the province’s key architectural marvel and adventure tourist attraction. The European Union has stepped in and announced a €10 million cash injection to help bolster the Caminito del Rey and its surrounds. The vertigo-inducing walkway along the El Chorro gorge an hour north of Mar-
bella has attracted millions of visitors in its time lured by the magnificent views and photo opportunities, and the sense of danger. ‘The King’s Little Walkway’ has, however, been beset by difficulties forcing its closure and serious investment is sorely needed to improve its structural integrity and transform the entire site into a lucrative tourist destination.
The €10 million will come from the EU’s regional funding programme and should be paid by 2020. Caminito officials are already plotting what to do with the windfall and have identified five key projects to help reinvigorate the area. Chief among them is the Caminito’s full integration as part of a tourist itinerary with nearby El Torcal and the Dolmens. They also

Unemployment up THE end of an exceptionally good summer on the Costa del Sol for tourism brought bad news for employment in September. As seasonal contracts expired, Malaga Province registered the second worst figures in the country with 2,873 people joining the dole queue. Beaten only by another Andalucian province, that of Cadiz with an increase of 6,458 jobless people, Malaga has begun the last quarter of the year with 163,201 people registered as unemployed, a 1.79 per cent increase on figures for the end of August. The rise, however, is still much lower than that registered in September 2015 (4,447) and there are 15,716 fewer people out of work than there were a year ago. The services sector saw the highest increase in unemployment with an extra 3,760 people joining the list in September. Statistics revealed there were 560,110 people in work and paying into the social security system in the province in September and another 109,639 people registered as selfemployed.

Malaga is sensing an opportunity to sell itself as far more than a tourist destination but rather an emerging city of finance which can become a second home to British businesses who may find other continental doors closing. The city council together with the British Chamber of Commerce organised a conference to plot of path to shared economic success. Leading employers agreed there was an opportunity for Malaga to declare itself open for business.

Disgraceful deception A MOTHER and son team of crooks, who defrauded an old lady of more than €1,000, have been sentenced to prison by a Malaga court. The court heard how the pair orchestrated an elaborate deception which saw the man approach the elderly lady and pretend to be mentally disabled and claim to have a wad of unusable bank notes he didn’t know what to do with. His mother then, masquerading as a poor stranger taking pity on him, handed him several hundred euros thus making the lady think that she should also do something to help the less fortunate. Under this moral pressure she withdrew €1,200 from her ATM and handed it over to the man, who promptly scarpered with his mother. The woman contacted police who managed to locate the pair and they will now each serve two years in prison.

Endangered cats suffering on roads By Matt Ford THE 11th Iberian lynx to be killed on Andalucian roads this year has been found near Doñana National Park. The identity of the unfortunate individual has not yet been publicised, but the LIFE+Iberlince project has stated the animal’s stricken body was collected from the side of the A-49 road in Bollullos Par del Condado. Ironically, the municipality is laden with road signs advising drivers to moderate their speed due to the presence of the highly-endangered predators. As is mandatory in such cases, the body has been transferred to the Centre for Analysis and Diagnosis of Wildlife (DAC), which is administrated by the Junta de Andalucia. Prior to the current incident, the last lynx killed by traffic appeared in the municipality of Marmolejo in Jaen Province, around 500 metres from the famous
Puente del Balkneario. Earlier in the summer, a three-year-old male lynx fitted with a radio collar was run down on the A-4 road in the Jaen town of Bailen, a known black spot for the cats. The Andalucian minister of environment and spatial planning, Jose Fiscal, has declared his intention to take special measures to avoid such cases in the future.
IBERIAN LYNX: Under threat.
Specifically, an initiative with an investment of €1.2 million has been designed within the European LIFE project for recovery of the historical distribution of the Iberian lynx in Spain and Portugal. An additional €1.1 million of EU funding has also been requested for the implementation of safety measures for wildlife on roads. Photo by Shutterstock

Diamond and watch heist A MARBELLA woman is on trial accused of swindling a Swiss jeweller out of more than €12 million. The prosecution allege that the defendant and her now-deceased husband convinced the businessman that they needed to purchase diamonds and watches to throw an elaborate party on behalf of the wife of the former president of Zaire Mobuto Sese Seko. Mrs Mobuto lived in Marbella in 2005. She was known for her extensive jewellery collection worth millions of euros. Her husband was a notorious dictator who ruled Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo) with an iron fist for more than 30 years, amassing a vast personal fortune at the troubled nation’s expense. Trusting his source, the Swiss jeweller agreed to lend the pair €12.3 million worth of glitzy diamonds and watches with the expectation that he would be paid by Mrs Mobuto later. Of course the dictator’s wife, who has since passed away as has her husband, had never heard of the arrangement and the furious Swiss quickly found himself dealing with the police.

MALAGA: The centre is set to be transformed.
Model city By Matthew Elliott THE gateway to the Costa del Sol is set to be transformed. A European Union program will pump ₏15 million into Malaga to be used in remodelling the old town and key neighbourhoods as part of a sustainable development initiative. Several key streets in the city centre are
essentially abandoned, with ruined vacant buildings and broken, littered pavements making up what should be the vibrant bustling shopping hotspot of a major European city. The plans would see the planting of street furniture, and social regeneration to make the area far more attractive, habitable and appealing to visitors and locals alike.

BONJOUR BERNAL: The mayor greets the French visitors.
Language exchange By Matt Ford MAYOR of Marbella, Jose Bernal, was on hand to welcome a group of French students from the Saint Exupery school, Blagnac, close to Toulouse. The youngsters are in Spain to participate in a language exchange programme with the IES Rio
Verde secondary school, with 2016 the sixth consecutive year that the two institutions have collaborated in this way. Alongside visits to tourist hotspots such as the city’s historic centre, the visitors have been staying with local host families throughout their trip, with the Spanish participants due to make their sojourn to France next May.
Herbert rolls in his grave DUNES El Pinillo in Marbella is facing an existential threat from tourism and the poisonous affairs of urban life and needs to be offered public protection. That is the conclusion of the Marbella Council which hopes to have the dunes included in its legally protected four-hectare ecological reserve. In fact the area is the only one of the Costa del Sol city’s epic dunes that has managed without official protection. If the plans succeeds more than 40,000 square metres will be safeguarded against corporate interests entrenched in the region, although a further 115,000 square metres of the
dunes has already fallen into the hands of two local businessmen. Marbella Council has long fought off attempts to take over the pristine land, but changes in the executive have weakened the public’s common resolve. Initial plans to place the dunes under protection were thwarted by the ruling Partido Popular in 2014. Certain businessmen remain determined to convert the pristine natural land into yet another urban nightmare of amusement parks, restaurants and bars.

Loadsa cash By Matthew Elliott TRAVELLERS to the Costa del Sol are morphing almost as quickly as their numbers are rising. After an historic volume of tourists visited one of Europe’s most sought-after destinations, a clearer picture has emerged of just who is coming and what they like to do. Dubbed ‘superverano’ or ‘supersummer ’ by the Spanish press, the influx was captained by British tourists, but more and more Americans and Dutch are also making the voyage. A daily flight connecting Malaga with New York has been warmly welcomed by local businesses who are fond, oddly enough, of the American tendency to tip big. Cruise passengers almost doubled in number from 2015, and improved rail links to the rest of Spain saw
a record number of domestic tourists flock to the region. There is a huge trend developing for people staying in apartments rather than hotels, although Torremolinos, Benalmadena and Marbella, saw huge numbers take the traditional route. The average person stays for around four days and spends €50 per day, not including their accommodation, and numbers are expected to hit record levels throughout October and November.

Shopping generation PEOPLE like shopping. Younger people like it a little more than older generations. That’s the basic conclusion of a sweeping survey across Torremolinos, which found that four out of five residents were in favour of the massive new shopping centre set to be built just north of the Palacio de Congresos. Most of the remaining fifth who said they would likely avoid the leviathan leisure and shopping megapark were aged over 54. Set to be built by British firm Intu over the next three years, the planned supersized shopping centre will be the biggest in Andalucia and boast cinemas, swimming pools, botanical gardens, playgrounds and a boating lake. Anticipated to cost roughly half a billion euros and create thousands of jobs, the works will also see €3 million spent on improving access between Torremolinos and Malaga.

Emergency water supply THE Environmental Department has approved extra irrigation for Guadalhorce valley farmers this month due to the lack of rain. The decision was reached at a meeting between department representatives and the Guadalhorce Irrigation Committee and will run from October 10 to 24 for citrus tree orchards. The committee was informed on reservoir levels and the amount of water used for irrigation since the last meeting at the end of June. Although the area was placed in pre-alert for drought in August, good management led to less water being used for irrigation than expected over the summer, allowing for the new extra irrigation period. However, the water board warned if the current situation continues it will be unable to guarantee normal winter irrigations and, as another dry year is expected, emergency measures including reducing the volume of water reserved for irrigation may have to be put in place.

Collateral damage
OIL SPILL: Algeciras Bay has suffered such a calamity in the past. By Matthew Elliott AN oil spill swept across more than half a kilometre of sand on a Costa del Sol beach. An accident at a Cepsa rig sparked an avalanche of black hydrocarbon from the buoy outpost to Algeciras bay. Local ecologist groups have urged the regional government to take immediate action to stem the tide of poison and protect native wildlife, which includes a vibrant array of protected and vulnerable species.
Cepsa reckoned that roughly 500 litres of oil had been spilt, but the local harbourmaster calculated the amount at closer to 2,000 litres. Fortunately the oil was already mixed with water and wasn’t too viscous, but serious questions are being raised as to how the incident occurred. It is not the first time the Algeciras Bay has suffered such a natural calamity and opposition politicians have suggested that oil spills are now officially tolerated as collateral damage in ongoing economic expansion.

Recuperation of rare vulture By Matt Ford TECHNICIANS from the Andalucian environmental ministry have been busy ringing chicks of the increasingly-scarce Egyptian vulture in the Serranita de Ronda. A total of 13 chicks from 10 nests across Andalucia now have individual identification numbers which will help scientists and ornithologists track their progress. The work forms part of an ongoing project to recuperate dwindling populations of necrophagous (carrion-eating) birds in the region, with 203 chicks ringed since 2004. Biological parameters are taken and an overall health check conducted during the process, which normally takes place within the first 40 days of the birds’ lives. The Andalucian population of the beautiful
species is in decline due to an unusually high rate of mortality in adults, mostly caused by human interferences such as illegal poisoning or collisions with wind turbines or electricity lines. In addition, recreational rock climbers who ignore seasonal
restrictions are known to interfere with the vultures’ reproductive behaviour. The Egyptian is the smallest among the four Spanish bird species adapted to feed on carrion, and is more adaptable than its larger cousins, preying on dead mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and even fish. Due to its rarity it is a particular source of interest for bird watching tourism and thus socio-economic development of certain rural areas.

Sponsored by Euro Weekly News, the festival has gone from strength to strength since its debut in 2006 and is now also a platform for high-level discussions on the future of the global film industry, whilst drawing global attention to the Costa del Sol city.

Making Marbella great again THE Costa del Sol’s glitzy city on a hill has had a glamorous, and tumultuous, few decades. With its very own International Film Festival in its 11th year, a new energy has been unleashed in the city, bringing even more talent, innovation, drive and creativity to an already potent mix. The Festival’s triumph isn’t merely in showcasing bold new talent, or generously providing an opportunity for up and coming directors to rub shoulders with veteran stars. For residents and lovers of Marbella, the Festival is a vibrant and visual metaphor for the city’s metamorphosis into one of the world’s premier cultural hubs. Expertise was sought from Cannes, the festival was preceded by San Sebastian, and films rolled in from 50 countries across the world, from Iran, China, France, Germany and beyond. British
Steve Cline and Craig Fairbrass
films excelled with London Heist and Golden Years being selected as the premieres. It was a symbol of the kind of company Marbella now keeps on the global stage, where the Festival is fast becoming a key stop on the film circuit. So what’s next for the Marbella Film Festival? Well it’ll certainly be back with director Mac Chakaveh at the helm next autumn for its 12th edition, surely to be the greatest yet. Behind the scenes the producers, directors and innovators will continue their discussions on the very nature of the film industry. More and more young talent across the world will be guided and supported. And more and more local residents will be afforded the glorious opportunity to watch true art in motion.

Kim Woodburn supports local cancer charities By John Smith POSITIVELY Pink and Positively Blue, the Mijas-based charities’ sole purpose is to raise the necessary funds to provide education, support and free breast and prostate screening programmes to women and men who live on the Costa del Sol and although it is aimed primarily at the British expatriate community, as long as there are funds available, no one is turned away. Funds however are the perennial problem for Lorraine Palmer of El Oceano Hotel who set up Positively Pink after suffering a fright more than 10 years ago when she though t t h a t sh e h a d h e rs e lf d e v elo p e d breast cancer. Happily this was not the case but despite the fact that she had private health insurance, it took several weeks to organise the screening and then additional weeks waiting for the results. The stress that she, her family and others w ent th r o u g h j u st i mag in in g th e w o rs t whilst waiting for the results made her vow that she would do all that she could to make life easier for those in a similar situation and that spurred her on to set up Positively Pink. It is a small charity that can make a big difference but can only help if it has the money to do so and their Gala Dinner which is being held on October 6 (coincidentally Lorraine and husband John’s wedding anniversary) at El Oceano Hotel is the main fundraiser with last year ’s dinner raising €30,000, all of which is devoted to health checks and support of those who are found to be positive. In the last year, 1,000 women and men have been checked and of those, 98 per cent were found to be healthy but 11 men and

Euro Weekly News is a long-time supporter of the charities and was invited to meet the irrepressible Kim Woodburn who first came to public attention in 2003 as one of the two presenters of How Clean is your House which took British TV by storm. Kim at 74 is a lively and friendly lady who whilst in semi-retirement was delighted to be invited by Lorraine Palmer to act as the host and auctioneer for the Gala Dinner and s h e fle w ove r s pe c ia lly from the UK with her husb an d P e te r to he lp ra is e funds for the charities and to renew her contact with the C o s ta de l Sol w hic h s he knows and loves. During the interview, she c o u ld n ’t s pe a k highly
enough of the charities and the work they are doing to try to fight the curse of cancer which, whilst diminishing in some areas, appears to be more prevalent in the case of breast and prostate cancer. She is a very down-to-earth person, who has few of the airs and graces that you sometimes see in ‘celebrities’ and she puts her ability to chat with anybody and everybody down to the fact that until the age of 61, she was a cleaner earning very little and effectively living from hand to mouth. The n when her bi g bre a k cam e, she was overwhelmed by the fact that she could afford t o buy a house and car and have some mone y i n t he bank without anything she owned being on HP. She speaks with affection for some
of the work that she has done, especially I’m a Celebrity which she rather enjoyed even though she had to go through five trials which included eating bugs and parts of a kangaroo, and three things stand out in her mind. Firstly she received a great big cheque when she returned home, secondly she relished the fact that she had a warm home and bath to return to, and thirdly she had made a good friend in Samantha Fox. She turned down the chance to appear in pantomime this year as it is too tiring as well as the Island with Bear Grylls, especially as it would take her away from her husband who suffered a stroke three years ago but she hi nt ed t hat a m ont h i n t he Celebrity Big Brother house would be quite welcome as it pays well! Earlier this year Kim appeared in a documentary Rich, Famous and Homeless which saw her and other celebrities living on the street for five days which raised £500,000 (€550,000) for homeless charities and she also raises funds for a Stroke charity. One of those performing at the Gala Dinner will be Chelsea Greene, a member of UK based girl band Office Girls whose parents live in Alhaurin. She, together with her mother Michele, decided to be tested and forced her father Martin to have the prostate test, much against his better judgement and whilst the two ladies had no sign of cancer, it transpired that Martin was suffering from the disease. As a gesture of thanks to the charity, Chelsea has flown over from London t o t ake par t i n t he Gal a as has her brother who has travelled from the USA.

SHARING MUSIC: Daniel Ek of Spotify.
Soundcloud and Spotify in talks AS the digital age progresses, so the legal downloading of music is becoming more sophisticated and Swedish company Spotify formed by Daniel Ek is now apparently in takeover talks with German platform Soundcloud. The concept of file sharing for music was launched by American company Napster which was nullified due to problems with copyright infringement, but Spotify appeared on the scene and offers subscribers the opportunity to stream music of their choice after it has signed formal deals
with record companies around the world. Soundcloud had a different motive as it simply allowed bands and musicians (often unsigned) to upload their works to the site which was accessible to fans around the world. This has now changed as Soundcloud has also started to charge for certain services. Some believe this was done deliberately at the request of shareholders who want to see the company sold as it is yet to make a profit and an existing pay to play service would appeal to potential purchasers.
AFTER revelations that the new Samsung Galaxy telephone could catch fire because of battery problems, it now transpires it is about to face a lawsuit in the USA after one of its top loading washing machines ‘exploded.’ The company accepts there may be some problems with machines sold between March 2011 and April 2016 and said certain models could be affected when washing bedding or bulky loads. Owners in Europe need not panic, however, as the problem is confined to models sold within North America.
Hidden funds IN 2012, Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy granted a partial tax amnesty to approximately 30,000 people when it was revealed billions of euros were held in overseas accounts and at that time, they were forgiven their actions, provided they confirmed their assets and paid 10 per cent in tax. Now it appears the Treasury will be investigating those persons involved anew to see if they have other hidden assets.

Pound brightens on post Brexit data Ask the expert Peter Loveday Contact me at euroweekly@currenciesdirect.com
FOLLOWING the Brexit vote the pound tumbled as expected but the downturn thus far has not been as big as some had feared. In fact, recently the pound has found its feet again and has managed to claw back across a range of currencies. Recent UK data has surprised many observers with stronger numbers than expected in retail sales and across the PMI surveys including manufacturing, construction and services. Britain could argue it is on safer soil and the doom and gloom is behind them. However, before anyone gets too carried away they need to remember that it is still early days. The Bank of England (BoE) is likely to echo this point and ongoing UK data releases will continue to be scrutinised. The BoE was the first to react to the Brexit vote by cutting interest rates and expanding the Quantitative Easing programme. It also downgraded the growth
GBP WEAKNESS: Could be mitigated with smooth Brexit negotiations. forecast for the remainder of 2016 and 2017. Attention will now be upon whether the BoE eases further, however given the more upbeat data this is less likely. Although the BoE will highlight ongoing risks and uncertainty it may improve the forecast slightly given the improvement in data, if
so this would prove pound-positive. It is a similar picture here in the Eurozone with post-Brexit data holding up reasonably well. Again the focus ahead will be on any additional measures taken by the European Central Bank (ECB). In September it held fire and will now wait for a
clearer picture of growth and inflation. December is now being eyed as a month in which the ECB could ease further by extending and possibly expanding the current Quantitative Easing programme. This opens the possibility of an easing ECB against a BoE holding current levels. This sentiment could help boost GBP/EUR as we move closer to December. In 2017 the real challenge begins and it is now up to the UK government to negotiate a deal for Brexit. The triggering of Article 50 presents a big stumbling block for the pound. If the UK government can smooth this process with negotiations, then GBP weakness can be mitigated. This remains a big area of uncertainty going into 2017 and as things stand the UK government are not rushing or playing an early hand in negotiations. In the coming months the key drivers for GBP/EUR will be ongoing economic data, the policy actions of the central banks and Brexit negotiations. Volatility is expected to remain high and we anticipate some opportunities for pound gains in the short to medium term for 2016 before facing fresh headwinds in 2017.

By John Smith AS has been speculated for some months following the arrival of new British Airways Spanish CEO Alex Cruz from low cost airline Vueling, it is now certain that economy passengers on BA flights lasting less than five hours will no longer receive a free snack and drink. In fairness, the actual food served was effectively a fairly boring half sandwich and to dress up the decision, it is being explained that sophisticated modern passengers want a greater choice of high quality food which they can purchase. The only slight surprise is that rather than tie up with Waitrose which was originally muted, the airline will instead offer a range of Marks and Spencer products at prices which it believes are highly competitive with other ‘budget’ airlines such as Ryanair and Norwegian, the latter airline really attracting a large number of new passengers. Mr Cruz was quoted as saying “We know our customers expect a great experience with British Airways. They’ve told us we are experts in flying and service, but when it

FOOD FOR SALE: BA flights will offer premium products from M&S for passengers to purchase. comes to catering on short-haul flights, they want to choose from a wider range of premium products. Like British Airways, Marks & Spencer is a well-known, premium
British brand that is respected and trusted, so it’s an ideal partnership, providing our customers with a choice of products they recognise and value.”
At the moment, it appears that the maximum price of any food item will be £4.95 (€5.75) and that choices will be aimed at the time of day of the flight with regular changes of
menu to also reflect the season. There will clearly be a significant saving overall for the airline but it is highly unlikely that any savings will be seen in the price of individual airfares as the cost of a sandwich and a drink is insignificant but does mount up to a decent amount over a year. It is planned that these food free (as opposed to free food) flights will start from Gatwick and Heathrow with effect from January 11 of next year although passengers from London City and Stansted can continue to gorge themselves on half a sandwich until the middle of next year. As what may be considered more complicated than it is worth, it will also be possible for frequent travellers to use their bonus Avios points to pay for inflight snacks and drinks in the future. It has also been revealed that the airline will be attempting to make its fare structures more understandable as having introduced options for travel with or without baggage and payment for seat choices, consumers appear to have had some trouble in fully understanding what is available and at what cost.

Comparing price comparisons
COMPARISON WEBSITES: May steer towards companies paying the best commission. By John Smith IN the UK, there has been a major growth in comparison web sites which infer that they will help to find the best prices for a whole range of products including gas, electricity, insurance, credit cards, and broadband suppliers, in fact almost anything is fair game for them. These companies have in many ways been a lifeline for television stations as they spend huge amounts with long running and highly creative (except for the men in shorts and high heels twerking) commercials which captivate audiences and bring them to the various comparison sites. One thing that is often unexpected is the level of information that is required before any comparisons are available and it should be understood that all of the information provided can and will be disseminated to other parties unless the enquirer specifically indicates that the information may not be passed to third parties indiscriminately. There have been some sugges-
The CMA ruled that comparison sites didn’t have to show consumers the best deals.” tions that as these free sites often receive payment from companies who gain new clients through the site, they cannot be completely impartial and consumers may not always be made aware of the best deals but may be steered towards companies that pay the best commissions. Now, alert to this fact, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) intends to review a number of these sites to see whether they are offering the best advice to consumers and whether consumers understand the financial benefits that the sites may receive for the information that they receive. This decision comes just a few months after the CMA ruled that the comparison sites didn’t have to show consumers the best deals
and could show just those where they received commission if this suited them. That decision by the CMA which reversed an earlier ruling by energy regulator Ofgem has been heavily criticised by MPs who are also worried that the sites are becoming profit making machines which have changed from being a useful consumer tool to actually stifle genuine competition. Naturally the CMA which is a government organisation and its minister won’t want to admit that the decision taken earlier this year was the wrong one, so they are dressing this latest exercise as a study which will take several months to complete and they then have a further year to publish the findings. Critics suggest that the answer is ‘simples’ and investigators need the brain capacity of a stuffed animal to recognise that any company will take advantage of the opportunity given to reap the greatest profits even if it does not work to the best advantage of the consumer.

Build camps across Europe LEAPY LEE SAYS IT
OTHERS THINK IT SO, certain charities are refusing to bring aid to the infamous Calais ‘Jungle Camp.’ Apparently after visiting and witnessing unwanted clothing and foodstuffs being dumped and burnt, the Human Relief Foundation has decided to suspend its charitable expeditions into these areas. Another reason given is that, despite the bias of the BBC, who mainly feature women and children in their news reports, the charity found the camp contained over 95 per cent of young ablebodied men. Why does that come as such a surprise to them and so little surprise to the rest of us!? This rag-bag collection of trainer-shod, mobile-clutching cowards should never have even been allowed to get as far as the English Channel. Countries en route should have been weeding them
CALAIS CAMP: Aid being left to go to waste. out and turning back thousands of this rabble bunch of feral opportunists. At last however, the French authorities are making
closing down moves, and not before time. As I wrote a couple of years ago, the only way to solve this problem is by building camps
across Europe. We simply cannot allow them to flood into the towns and the cities of the West, where they will only cause disruption and
unrest with the distinct possibility of ultimate violence. These camps should be orderly places, evenly distributed between countries. They should be controlled and inspected regularly with all amenities, medical care, and acceptable living conditions. Over a period the refugees should be interviewed and assessed, and either given permits to work in allocated countries or deported back from whence they came. Problem solved. Wonderful to see Corbyn reelected as leader of the Labour party. At least this means we won’t be seeing this lot in power for many years to come. Probably not in my lifetime anyway. Bliss. What about the mother who pointed out a black car to her 11year-old daughter stating that she didn’t like the colour? Her shocked offspring immediately accused her of racism! Sometimes I really do despair of it all. Keep that mail coming and always. Keep the Faith Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com

What is the Spanish tax threshold? ARE you still confused about the criteria which decides if you are obliged to submit a tax return to the Spanish Authorities or not? We receive lots of enquiries from clients who are really confused about the €22,000 threshold. You must understand that this limit only applies to people who receive one income from a single source, but this only applies to incomes on PAYE in Spain. Income received from other countries, for example English pensions, which are not subject to PAYE in Spain, have a lower threshold and this is €12,000. Incomes from foreign sources (i.e. UK) over €12,000 a year have to be declared to the Spanish authorities on the annual income tax return. However, it is often worth submitting a Spanish Tax Return even when your income is under the threshold of €12,000. Please contact us and we will kindly explain the reasons why. UK Tax Refund has rectified many Spanish Tax Returns brought to us by new clients on their initial visit to our office, and have ob-
CONFUSING CRITERIA: Hassle free help and advice to get your affairs in order. tained tax refunds for incorrectly paid tax to the Spanish Tax Office. This is not easy to achieve, as you can imagine the amount of documents that are normally required by the Spanish Tax Office, and more so when requesting a tax refund. When completing the Spanish Tax Return it is also important to
declare correctly other forms of income like interest or dividends deriving from the UK, here we have also seen a variety of errors. The Spanish Tax Office controls are intensifying and giving your tax affairs impeccable treatment, both in Spain and in the UK will give you reassurance and peace of
mind. Also, if you own property in the UK which you are considering selling and are a resident of Spain, before doing anything find out what the consequences would be and how it affects you taxwise. With the correct advice any decision you make will lead you in the
right direction, meaning payment of less tax. Do not leave something as important as your tax affairs in the hands of inexperienced people. UK Tax Refund SL, registered agents with HMRC, will ensure every detail is taken into account. We will also assist you, if need be, to complete and submit your Annual SelfAssessment tax return to HMRC. What is more important is that more than 95 per cent of people when beginning to pay taxes in Spain are entitled to receive a tax refund from HMRC in the UK. Consult with UK Tax Refund SL, who is able to deal with your UK tax affairs on your behalf with HMRC and make dealings between both countries easier and hassle free. The service UK Tax Refund provides not only recovers any overpaid tax, but as part of the process ensures your Spanish tax obligations are met and all your UK tax affairs are in order.

Just Joking A man was walking down the streets of Washington DC one night. All of a sudden a mugger sticks a gun in his ribs and says. “Give me all your money!” He replied, “Do you realise I am an important member of congress?” The robber said, “In that case give me all my money!”
The purpose of the Hexagram puzzle is to place the 19 six-letter words into the 19 cells. The letters at the edges of interlocking cells MUST BE THE SAME. The letters in the words must be written CLOCKWISE. The word in cell 10 (RETAIN) and one letter in four other cells are given as clues.

YOUR STARS SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) This is a week to let yourself be heard. Be it writing letters, sending emails, making phone calls or making conversation, you must express yourself. Being honest and outspoken need not mean upsetting people. Think of the way that a child gets its point over. SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Having problems with that new computer? Fallen foul of the new mobile phone? That wouldn’t be surprising this week. As you are prone to mistakes and misunderstandings, try not to tackle anything vital. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) You are in for a bit of a bumpy ride this week. Some things will go well but other outcomes can be quirky. People change their minds, technology doesn't work, phone calls don't come. Be assured, however, that if you keep your sense of the absurd it could all be quite amusing. AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) When it comes to throwing wobblers, please don't. It is so important this week to stay cool and unruffled. Change nothing that you can avoid changing.
LIBRA
(September 24 - October 23)
This is an important week for both your physical health and your mental wellbeing. Because of things beyond your control, you may have let your diet or exercise slip. Having sorted out any problems that side-tracked you, there is a need to be particularly strong.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) This month, there is much to be celebrated. So much has happened in the latter part of the year. Certainly, congratulations are in order. When you have made such an effort and are rewarded for it, satisfaction is high. ARIES (March 21 - April 20) The importance of making the right choices is clear to you. Where to begin seems to be a sticking point. Starting by taking away the things you really do not want is essential. Be practical and logical. TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Although you have the feeling that younger members of the family are not interested in your point of view, this is far off the mark. They, in their inexperience, may not know how best to approach you in this regard. GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) The prospect of travel sets you thinking. Have you been spending too much time
considering others? Should you take steps now to get time alone then these plans cannot be changed. CANCER (June 22 - July 23) With the best will in the world it is only possible to spend money once. We are all guilty of trying to get over this truth, but it never works. Have patience when looking to improve your possessions. LEO (July 24 - August 23) Going over old ground is counterproductive. There is nothing to be gained from repeating methods that did not work in the past. If it is not possible to find a fresh approach then seek the opinions of others. VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Getting together with others to entertain is sure to be successful after the 26th. Before that there may be some irritations, particularly with people who refuse to be positive and make decisions. Those moving house or going on a journey need a lot of patience, and forward planning is essential.

BOOKS Born to Run
By Bruce Springsteen In 2009, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performed at the Super Bowl’s half-time show. The experience was so exhilarating that Bruce decided to write about it, and that’s how this extraordinary autobiography began. He describes growing up Catholic in Freehold, New Jersey, amid the poetry, danger, and darkness that fueled his imagination, leading up to the moment he refers to as ‘The Big Bang’: seeing Elvis Presley’s debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. He vividly recounts his relentless drive to become a musician, his early days as a bar band king in Asbury Park, and the rise of the E Street Band. With disarming candor, he also tells for the first time the story of the personal struggles that inspired his best work, and shows us why the song ‘Born to Run’ reveals more than we previously realised. books@euroweeklynews.com

We’re builders trying to be waiters ONE can only applaud Malaga Town Hall for the new Gran Hotel Miramar and the proposed port based 34-storey hotel potentially funded by Qatari investors. Hotels of these standards ‘could’ be the equal of any hotel in Madrid, Barcelona or further afield, and I for one cannot wait to have a luxury city break in one of these hotels even though we only live half an hour away. What I do worry about are the people that are going to staff these places. I find to my regret that many of the hotels and restaurants in Malaga and on the coast still have employees that are very much of the ‘dame y dime’ school of service that will just not do in such spectacular hotels. As a Malagueño friend of mine who is a sales rep in the city selling ‘embutidos’ said, five years ago we were all builders and now we are trying to be waiters! Best of luck to these projects and here’s to hoping that my scepticism is proved unfounded. Robert
Cyclist anger I READ with interest the article in Issue 1630 on the rules that govern cyclists. I have been waiting a long time for these issues to be clarified. I have asked people on many occasions why they proceed the wrong way down a one way street. I have been told to get a life and only this week called a tosser. I have on two occasions nearly been run down from behind and told to watch where I was walking. I live near Quesada, where Calle Los Arcos is rampant daily with such law breakers. This particular street is dangerous enough with motorists parking on both sides outside the old Post Office. Perhaps we might see some action by the Local Police? Philip

Witless water wasters I CANNOT understand the mentality of people of all nationalities who live in a semi-desert region in one of the worst droughts for many years and who still think a good way to use water is to a) fill their swimming pools with a hosepipe and b) wash down their patios, terraces, windows and cars with a hosepipe. A hosepipe ban should be made across the region during such times as these and anyone caught using one should be fined on the spot. Also anyone without a valid annual receipt for a tanker of water to fill their pools should be fined double the cost of a tanker load on the spot for a first offence and then face prison if they persist in
very small area which they are licensed, and pay taxes, to use. Two hundred people would have swamped the area. I understand from enquiries I made the police are often called by bar owners to that area to move on the unlicensed performers when they attract too large a crowd. Far from interfering with the facilities which visitors might enjoy, the police were ensuring bylaws were enforced and complaints from bar owners were respected. We residents of Fuengirola are very proud of our very well kept, law-abiding town, which is enjoyed in safety by an increasing number of visitors, both music loving and others seeking more tranquil surroundings, whilst enjoying sitting by the sea.

doing so. Yes, they pay for it with their water bills but it is the quantity they use solely for personal pleasure in such times which causes a problem. Car washes are quick and cheap with only the minimum of water being used and what’s wrong with cleaning windows the old fashioned way with a bucket, a proprietary window cleaner or a steam cleaner? As for washing patios and terraces down why not use a brush or vacuum them? It’s quick and easy. Please stop and think before you turn on the tap - don’t take water for granted in such a cavalier way - it is the one thing we all need to survive. Jen, Almeria
Overseas pensioners IN response to the letter from Jan in Murcia in Issue no 1630. We, like many pensioners abroad, chose this lifestyle as we wanted to spend the rest of our lives in the sunshine and have a more active and better quality of life. The majority of pensioners in UK have this same choice to ‘up sticks and leave.’ Unfortunately the referendum was not a fair and democratic vote as a good many pensioners living abroad were not allowed to vote. How different the result might have been! I don’t think Mrs Middleton is self-
ish, she’s just concerned about her future, as are a good many. How would you feel if, through no fault of your own, you were told you had to leave Britain even though you had nowhere else to live? Printed in this newspaper is an article regarding pensioners having to return to UK due to Brexit, “the strain it would place on the NHS, social housing and other social benefits, should not be underestimated. Every overseas pensioner saves the UK government on average £1,575 per year because of NHS and benefit savings.” And there are thousands of overseas pensioners! No one knows what the outcome of Brexit will be. Only time will tell. Pat, San Fulgencio
Growing old disgracefully! ONE of the reasons I wanted to leave the EU was because of the lack of democracy and the power of a nonelected EU commission. However it seems there is no change. We now seem to be in a very similar situation with a non-elected prime minister. Theresa May was barely competent as home secretary tinkering with things and making change for the sake of change, rather than the need for change. Now here she is with a mandate from the Tory Party faithful and the pro-out campaigners, not necessarily representative of the view from the majority of people of the UK. I have been speaking to lots of people with a variety of political affiliations and it appears to be very likely Theresa May would not be the people’s choice. Corbyn is totally unelectable and has no chance of winning a general election so why not have one now and let the people decide who they want as prime minister? Yanto
Subtle slavery WHEN you think about it, western nations are bringing in uneducated, poor immigrants who will never integrate in western society. This is the same as modern slavery! With no language, skills or education and no prospects of having any, they are destined to be slaves. Working for poverty wages, if they can get a job. Or being used by controlling gangs in their own society under Sharia law. Kept virtual prisoners and trapped in ghettos. I can see future history telling the tales of the bringing in of economic slaves who were used to oil the gears of a failing ageing population and to work as domestic slaves for starvation wages. Viv

TO the dismay of the Unite union, the Ministry of Defence has announced it is to reduce the number of civilian staff employed in Gibraltar. It will introduce a voluntary redundancy scheme, having agreed earlier in the year with the government and union it would not enforce compulsory job reductions. The union feels with the uncertainty of Brexit the timing is poor.

CHIEF minister Fabian Picardo hosted a Gibraltar Reception in Birmingham on the opening day of the Conservative Party Conference where his main thrust was to promote the position of Gibraltar from a point of view of Brexit and Spanish demands for dual sovereignty. The following day, he flew to New York to meet up with the deputy chief minister Joseph Garcia where they addressed the United Nations Fourth Committee which is responsible for human rights and decolonisation. Once again the Gibraltar representatives explained their position with regards to relationships with Britain and Spain and invited members of the committee to visit Gibraltar to see for themselves the Territory and ask local residents their wishes as far as the future is concerned.

Greater protection for Barbary macaques AT the 17th meeting of CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora), held in South Africa, a motion was passed on September 29 which will give greater protection to the Barbary macaque by moving this endangered species from Appendix II to Appendix 1 on its protection list. One of the main threats to this primate is youngsters are popular as pets and this upgrading of their status will give greater protection from poaching and the illegal pet trade and promote their conservation.
It’s a unique species and is the only family member of the genus Macaca occurring in Africa and the only non-human primate north of the Sahara. It’s also the only non-human primate living in Europe, where a small semi-wild population inhabits the Rock of Gibraltar. An estimated 6,500 to 9,100 Barbary macaques are left in highly fragmented areas in Morocco and Algeria, with about 200 living on the Rock. Fragmentation and loss of habitat are other threats to the survival of the Barbary macaque.

to open bilateral negotiations between Britain and Spain. Following the demand by King Felipe for Gibraltar to ‘lose its colonial status’ within Europe and return to Spain, Mr Margallo continues in the same vein, explaining that a form of joint sovereignty would be beneficial to the people of Gibraltar as they could then feel Spanish as well as British. Such an arrangement would be to the long-term benefit of all as it would mean that Spain would no longer block EU legislation in the fields of civil aviation, environmental protection or fishing which some member states may consider a strange view as they might perhaps have hoped that Spain would act i n t he best i nt er est of t he Union as a whole rather than to benefit its own territorial claims.

Poor posture
SPECIALIST: Doctor Luis Perez Belmonte. POOR posture results from certain muscles tightening up or shortening while others lengthen and become weak, which often occurs as a result of one’s daily activities. There are different factors which can impact on posture, and these include occupational activities and biomechanical factors such as force and repetition. Workers who have higher job stress are more likely to develop neck and shoulder symptoms. What long and shortterm effects can an incorrect posture have? Co r r e c t si t t i n g a n d walking posture is essential in keeping our spine and other joints healthy. In fact, adopting an incorrect posture can cause prob l e m s i n b o t h th e short and long-term. It can start with backaches and muscle spasms but over time can develop into much more severe disorde r s su c h a s h e r n ia s and slipped discs.

More donors have signed up SINCE 2013 and the launch of the National Plan, the Spanish Registry of Bone Marrow Donors (REDMO) has exceeded 200,000 donors one year ahead of schedule and will close 2016 with a quarter of a million donors. There are around 120 new donors a day who also automatically go onto the World Register, where they are available to any patient in the world. This has helped a donor be found for patients within an average of 33 days in 90 per cent of cases. Acute Leukaemia, lymphoma and multiple myeloma are the main diseases that may benefit from a bone marrow transplant. In Spain each year around 5,000 people are diagnosed with acute Leukaemia and around 7,000 with lymphoma. Leukaemia is the most common childhood cancer and in many of these cases, bone marrow transplantation is the only hope as it replaces diseased cells with healthy cells from a donor.
BONE MARROW: A transplant is often the only hope for childhood Leukaemia patients. But how can you become a bone marrow donor? The National Transplant Organisation establishes a series of requirements to ensure maximum success. Donors have to be aged between 18 and 55 (although peo-
ple on the register can be donors up to 60 years) and be healthy and not suffering from any disease likely to be transmitted to the receiver. The only side effect of bone marrow donation is the possible pain of the puncture site where
the marrow is taken, which usually disappears within 48 hours and is controlled with common analgesics. As it is performed in the operating room under general anaesthesia, it has the same risks as any operation.

First three-parent baby born THE world’s first ‘three-parent baby’ has been born in Mexico. The baby boy was born using a revolutionary technique that combines the genes of three parents. He carries DNA from both his parents, but also a tiny piece of genetic code from a donor, that avoided him inheriting a genetic condition from his Jordanian mother. The technique is controversial and was engineered by a US medical team who treated the mother and her husband in Mexico, where there are no laws to block the procedure. Embryologists believe this birth should fast-forward progress around the world, offering hope to millions who face the prospect of delivering terminally ill children.

A Surgeon’s Opinion
Hip dysplasia A HIP replacement is a fairly common procedure if you have arthritis in your hips. But what if it’s not that simple? The incorrect procedure can lead to long-term issues and pain. Taking the time to get the right diagnosis is a critical part of choosing the correct procedure for you. Hip dysplasia is the most common cause of hip arthritis in young women but it is easy to miss. Many radiologists and surgeons are not familiar with it and don’t see it. Symptoms can often be confused with a hernia. What is hip dysplasia? Hip dysplasia or developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is when the hip socket is not in the correct position. The hip joint is a ball and socket joint, where the femoral bone (thigh bone) sits into the hip socket. If these two pieces don’t line up properly it causes abnormal wear on the cartilage and other tissues in the joint. This can cause arthritic changes and pain much earlier than expected, even as young as 20 years old! It is seven times more common in women. Diagnosis is important Many of my patients never knew there was something wrong with their hip as the diagnosis was missed as an infant. Some 92 per cent of adult hip dysplasia was missed in childhood. Others have been treated for some type of congenital hip problem during the first years of their life. X-rays are a critical part of
determining if a hip is dysplastic, however they need to be taken in the correct position so seeing a specialist is critical. Symptoms When does the dysplastic hip become painful? It depends on the patient. Some patients have pain in childhood but commonly I see patients as young as 20 years old, but more commonly from the age of 40. My patients are often frustrated that they have arthritis so early and have been told they are ‘too young’ for any help. It often starts with pain in the groin when you wake up. Eventually patients have constant pain and maybe a limp. Pain can even continue when resting. Early intervention Surgery for a dysplastic hip must include reorienting the hip socket. This alleviates the pain and helps to prevent arthritic changes. However I cannot stress enough that surgery is only an option once the hip becomes painful. Getting an accurate diagnosis is critical to choosing the best route for you.

Having a baby really can take its toll A NEW report has revealed that 35 per cent of UK parents were not prepared in the slightest for how hard having a baby would be. Almost half (49 per cent) said they felt shocked as they adjusted to their new lifestyle. The research was commissioned by toy company Little Tikes and quizzed 1,500 UK parents in their first year of parenting. The poll found the hardest part of being a parent is the constant tidying up (25 per cent) closely followed by bedtime issues, including the sleepless nights (22 per cent) and the battle to get the baby to sleep (14 per cent). Over a third admitted they only enjoyed being a parent ‘some of the time.’
However, on the flip side, the survey found the smallest things the most rewarding, with 38 per cent of respondents saying that seeing their little one smile was the most fulfilling feeling, giving it a happiness rating of 8.5 out of 10. Parents also said they spent around 2,263 hours holding their baby in the first year, which equates to over six hours a day. Almost three quarters (73 per cent) said that during the first year with a new baby they feel pressure from friends and family to be a ‘perfect’ parent and 66 per cent of parents said they regularly get annoyed with others on social media who portray a perfect family.

WELCOME to your Astrological Forecast! How can you create more balance in your life this month? Read on to discover what October has in store for you and how you can make the most of the month ahead... Astrology: Find your balance Sun in Libra: The sign of Libra encourages you to be fair this month, with yourself and with others. In order to be fair you must assess people and situations from all angles and judge impartially. When you balance justice with compassion, you will be able to exercise fairness. Often we judge others based on what they say and do. This month keep an open mind and heart. Listen to your inner wisdom as you talk to others, and ask yourself how you can be more useful to your friends and family. As always, your primary relationship is with yourself. Quieten your inner critic and communicate with yourself in a more loving and compassionate way. As a result
you will feel better about yourself and will have much more to give. Moon time : October begins with the new moon in Libra, which is an air sign. Talk honestly with those close to you this month. Truth has a resonance that causes others to trust you intuitively. Speak from your heart and focus on the good and positive. The outcomes of your discussions will reflect this. Communication works both ways, so be truly present when listening. This will improve all your relationships. Be mindful of what you say and speak wisely. Let go of gossip and negativity. Instead chose inspiration and honesty and watch as your relationships blossom. On October 16 the full moon is in the sign of Aries. Use the fiery energy of this moon to give you the motivation to pursue your goals. When you have decided on your goal, picture the outcome in as much detail as possible. Positive focused thoughts, combined with conviction and passion, are an unstoppable force. Remember though to enjoy the journey, as this is where the most joy and gratitude can be found. Numerology: What inspires you? October is a number one month. Con-
nect with your inner wisdom this month and know that real power is not given but comes from a place of deep knowing within your being. When you truly know what you want, you will easily attract everything you need to bring your desires to fruition. By empowering yourself to live your truth, you will inspire others to do the same. Remain centred by practising a daily routine such as Meditation, Yoga, walking or some other activity, which helps you to quieten your mind. From this point of stillness you will find clarity and courage to act on your inspiration. The Tarot: Expect the best! The Wheel of Fortune: In the Major Arcana Tarot deck the 10th card is the wheel of fortune. In order to make the most of the opportunities which lie ahead for you this month, expect the best! Expectancy is a powerful quality that will help you to create a positive outcome. It enables your intentions and beliefs to manifest. Your focus can be positive or negative so ensure your thoughts
remain optimistic. Align your imagination, words, feelings and actions with the result you desire. Then detach and accept, knowing that the outcome will be right for you. Your personalised forecast!

Spirit Medium comes to Benalmadena By John Smith SELF-PROCLAIMED Spirit Medium Derek Acorah is bringing his ‘Soul Reunion’ tour out of the UK where he appears regularly and will be in Gibraltar at the Inces Theatre on October 14 and at the Sunset Beach Hotel, Benalmadena on October 17. Initially on the books of Liverpool Football Club in the days of Bill Shankly, Derek didn’t actually play for the first team but did persevere and played for a number of clubs ending his career in Australia. For the past 35 years he has developed his skill as a Spirit Medium, writing 11 books about his psychic experiences, some of which have been translated into Russian and Mandarin, as well as appearing in different TV programmes for the past 20 years, whilst also undertaking private readings for a range of people both well-known and members of the public. Regardless of whether you believe him to be a gifted psychic or a gifted charlatan, he has brought a great deal of comfort to a large number of people and
Derek Acorah fan club.

DEREK ACORAH: Also works tirelessly for charity. he is said to have worked tirelessly for charities which include Dogs for the Blind and the Anthony Nolan Trust. There will always be controversy about his gifts, but there is little doubt that those who do believe in his abilities are ready to praise him through his fan club, whilst others who are more cynical
try to prove that he is unable to gain guidance from the spirit world. The Costa del Sol enjoys a range of entertainment and the arrival of Derek Acorah should be considered to be yet another confirmation that the area attracts personalities from all walks of life to our shores.

Swing into JoysLive By John Smith JOYSLIVE in Puerto Banus welcomes Scotland’s King of Swing Paul Ellis who will be performing his very special brand of swing and jazz from October 20 to 22 and there is no doubt that his voice is absolutely made for the special Gangsters and Molls party to be held at the nightclub on Thursday October 20. The list of artists that Paul has worked with includes Edwin Starr, Anthony Newley, Rita Coolidge, Cybil Shephard and he has performed for some of the world’s most respected singers and musicians with positive reviews from Dame Shirley Bassey, Buddy Greco, Sir Bruce Forsyth and Cilla Black to name a few.
He recently opened the sell-out Leith Jazz and Blues Festival and has sung for football legends, entrepreneurs, music producers and even maestro of guitar Jimmy Page formerly of Led Zeppelin. The great thing about JoysLive is that it doesn’t present just

one type of music but is always on the lookout for different options, so from around 11pm to the early hours, you can hear a mix of great singers presenting the latest hits, songs of Amy Winehouse, rock and roll and the smooth sound of Sade. Then there could be beautiful music played on violin, saxophone or piano coupled with guest singers such as Paul and in this intimate nightclub with free entry in the most prestigious part of Puerto Banus you can be transformed to another age when Swing was King and Sinatra ruled the world. There is always good music at JoysLive but Paul Ellis is just playing for three nights and with the Gangsters and Molls party on October 20 it would be criminal to miss the opportunity to see and hear him.

Programme for Cervantes Theatre By John Smith
THE Cervantes Theatre in Malaga has an incredibly varied programme for October with music of all types being presented plus some inspiring dance. There is also some Spanish language theatre and full details of these presentations together with information on how to book can be seen at www.teatrocervantes.com. October 8 sees a tribute to famous Spanish pop group Mecano with five musicians, five singers and 10 dancers with two performances at 6pm and 9.30pm. October 9 brings to Malaga one of the foremost female singers of flamenco, Maria Toledo who will be playing piano and will be accompanied by her band. She will play from her double Grammy nominated album Spoiled starting at 7pm. October 11 brings more Flamenco but with a number of interesting influences to Malaga as female singer La Negra mixes jazz and African and Latin rhythms whilst retaining her flamenco roots as she performs with a band at 8pm. October 13 and 14 see performances by the Malaga Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Ira
Virgen del Rosario PRIOR to the fiesta and fair that takes place in Fuengirola in honour of the Virgen del Rosario from October 6 to 12, there was the special pilgrimage to the El Esparragal Park in Mijas thanks to an agreement between the councils of Fuengirola and Mijas which saw a great turn out of those who wished to honour the Virgin. The fiesta itself will follow traditional lines with an emphasis on family and children and will include equestrian activities, fireworks, music and will attract visitors from all over the Costa del Sol. One element may be missing however as there is a ban on open fires for the period of the celebrations, even in areas normally set aside for barbecues. The much loved Casetas will be ever present in the specially constructed fairground and part of the excitement of any visit is to see young women and children dressed in traditional costumes as they parade around the fairground bathed in the music issuing from each of the Caseta huts where first class food and drink can be enjoyed.
Levin as they present Max Reger’s Variations and Fugue on a Theme by JS Bach, Op. 81 and Berlioz Symphonie Fantastique, Op. 14 with a start time of 8pm on each evening.

She will be accompanied by a band consisting of guitar, piano, violin and percussion with a start time of 8pm. October 22 sees a tribute by the Malaga Philharmonic Orchestra to the works of John Williams who has won five Oscars and had 50 nominations together with numerous other awards for his film scores, so for aficionados of Star Wars in particular, the Force will be with the Teatro Cervantes at 8pm. October 23 is a very special day for the theatre when a piece jointly produced by dancer Rocío Molina and legendary singer Rosario, just one of the highly talented Flores family present a piece of contemporary flamenco dance entitled Tremendita at 7pm.

OPINION & COMMENT
Alarm bells were ringing Colin Bird A weekly look Each week, Colin brings his slightly off-thewall view of the world to the pages of EWN in his own irreverent style.
I HAD been hearing alarm bells for some time. That’s nothing unusual where you have properties that remain unoccupied for months on end, often sounding false alarms. Some are so sensitive that a sparrow breaking wind in Alicante will trigger that infernal high pitched peeping that drives everybody nuts. But that’s not the type of alarm I am talking about. The kind I am referring to are the ones that had been going off as I left certain stores in the Zenia Boulevard shopping centre. I had become quite accustomed to being challenged leaving Zara Man which happened with such frequency, that when assistants came hurrying up to see who was half inching their gear, they simply shrugged and turned away when they saw it was
CONSTANT SEARCHES: By store security guards. yours truly. I was constantly being searched at Leroy Merlin as I left with my purchases. I got to know the security man quite well there, but he had his job to do, and he always
kindly but firmly asked to inspect my man bag. Yes I’ve got a man bag. Get over it. We tried testing my house and car keys, phone and anything else metallic that might be the culprit, on the scanner,
but all with a negative response. It was weird. Then last week the same thing happened as we were leaving Media Markt. We had simply been in to compare prices, but again that
familiar honking as we attempted to make our getaway. Leaving I mean. What did security think I had in my cute little man bag? A coffee machine or a 72” TV? But fair do’s, he was merely doing his job. But the whole mystery was solved a few minutes later in Marvimundo, from where the Princess needed to replenish some of her smelly stuff. Again that familiar sound as we attempted to leave. But with the usual fruitless search completed, a charming young lady assistant suggested that for my own peace of mind, she tested every single item in my bag. Bingo! It was my leather wallet. But why? On close inspection, deep down and sewn inside one of the compartments was a plastic doody with two slivers of metal inside. Its purpose is still a mystery, but having removed it, I can now leave shops without feeling like a master criminal.

9/11 families may sue Saudi Arabia John Smith Random thoughts... CONSIDERING the number of years western leaders have tried to cultivate the Saudi Arabian Royal Family, often seeming to humiliate themselves in order to stay friendly with this oil-rich desert kingdom, which is one of the mainstays of conservative Islam, it is interesting to see how opinion has so radically changed. Jeremy Corbyn has stated publically that if elected Prime Minister, one of his first acts will be to suspend arms sales to a number of countries throughout the world. The most prominent is Saudi Arabia which is using British-produced arms in its surrogate war with Iran and literally tearing Yemen apart. As new sources of oil become available with fracking and increased output from Iran as well as the development of decent electric motors for cars then Saudi domination of the oil market has been significantly eroded meaning it is no longer able to just bank its oil cash
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Meets Saudi Royal Family. but has to consider the world market and become somewhat more amenable. The big news however is that despite a veto by President Obama, the US Congress has backed a call for a new law which would allow the families of those who died in the terrible 9/11 attack to sue Saudi Arabia. This is causing ‘great concern,’ according to the Saudi foreign ministry which added: “The erosion of
sovereign immunity will have a negative impact on all nations, including the United States.” The argument which has been accepted by Congress, is that as 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudi nationals then it is reasonable to take action against their government although the Saudis deny having any involvement whatsoever in the attacks. Sovereign immunity is generally accepted in most countries and is

Carles Puigdemont.
Interesting times ahead WHILST a great deal of Spanish newspaper space has been given over to the rapidly disintegrating main left wing opposition party PSOE, two separatist groups have taken the opportunity to make their positions clear. With the former king, Juan Carlos in Colombia witnessing the signing of the peace treaty between the government there and the FARC rebel group, the Basque terrorist group ETA which announced a ceasefire in 2011, called for Spain to follow this example, release imprisoned ETA members and enter into a dialogue with the group concerning the future destiny of the Basque country. In the Catalonian parliament, a plan presented by President Carles Puigdemont to call a referendum on independence next September was approved, although it was forced upon them since the CUP party demanded it in return for its vote to accept the proposed 2016 Catalan government budget. The vote was tight at 72 for and 63 against and he is now committed to proceed in the knowledge the referendum is unlikely to be approved by the Cortes regardless of who is in power next year and that former president Artur Mas is to be prosecuted for holding an informal referendum last year. The latter part of this year will hopefully see a national ruling government in power, either because PSOE agree to allow Mariano Rajoy to form a minority government, PSOE manages to put together a coalition to take power or a third election takes place from which a government emerges. Whatever the result, expats in Spain can expect to see some very interesting developments in 2017.
something of an anachronism in as much as it effectively says that an individual or group is prohibited from taking legal action against an overseas government unless that government agrees the action can go ahead. This change will also affect most of Europe if the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) is signed as it will allow American firms to sue European governments in the event that their laws hurt a company’s profits! Now, the decision by Congress removes this immunity within the USA but when a precedent is set, then it can spread very quickly and the USA will need to look at its own house to see whether it could be sued for damages in respect of any action it may have taken over the years. In a congressional election year, there could have been a loss of votes if individual congressmen or one of the two parties had been seen to vote down such an emotive issue.

Remakes, why bother? Mike Senker
In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man I AM a movie buff. I love watching films and one of the reasons is because I was in the business for over 20 years. I started renting out videos in 1979 and opened my first shop in 1980, one of the first in London. So until 2001 when I retired, my main job was to watch and buy movies. You may wonder what this has got to do with me now being a grumpy old sod? Well I am glad you asked. This week I watched ‘The Magnificent Seven.’ Not the wonderful 1960 original with Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, etc., but a 2016 version which was terrible. By the way, before anyone tells me, I know the 1960 movie was a remake of the even more wonderful Akira Kurosawa 1954 movie ‘Seven Samurai’ which is a must watch. I digress, my point to film-makers is ‘Don’t do it!’ There has never been a remake better than the original. This version of ‘The Magnificent Seven’ is nowhere near the quality. Why do they do it? It’s such a cop out! There are thousands of original scripts out
there but the film companies like to play safe. They made a remake of Hitchcock’s ‘Pyscho’. It was absolute garbage. How could a studio boss in his right mind think it could possibly work? They even tried to remake ‘Willy Wonka’ putting Johnny Depp in the title role. How on earth can you ever, ever even consider trying to remake a movie with Gene Wilder as the star? It’s an insult to ….. well to the whole world actually. Whilst on the subject, some of the dross which is being turned out at the moment is beyond bad. In fact, they could not ever actually have been released, they must have escaped! I allowed Mrs S to choose a movie to watch as she doesn’t always like my choice and likes to go for the gentler option. She found a movie called ‘Weiner Dog’ which was advertised as a comedy. Well if I tell you it was as funny as a smack in the mouth and just so nobody else has to suffer it I’m going to tell you how it ends. The beautiful little sausage dog gets run over and squashed by a truck, then two cars and then another truck!!! Laughing hysterically? ... my arse! She’s now banned from choosing. I once walked out in the middle of a movie it was so bad. ‘So?’ you might ask. ‘What’s the big deal? Many people have done that.’ Well I was in my house at the time!

LEGALLY SPEAKING
Speed detectors AS part of the series, we answer some common driving questions and keep you updated on the latest driving and road news kindly provided by members of the Guardia Civil based in Torrevieja, Costa Blanca, who set up the N332 website and Facebook page to help break down barriers.
MONITORING DEVICES: There are five types currently in use. NEWS about new radar speed detectors being carried on police motorbikes has caused confusion and speculation about the radars. The N332 Guardia Civil Traffico team are clearing up the confusion and said: “When we said the DGT has spent €1 million on new mobile cameras which can be carried by traffic police on their motorcycles, that sentence is entirely accurate.” They explained these cameras and radar detectors are not installed on the bikes, they are carried on them, allowing officers to set up temporary detection zones in any location. Some people believe they have seen cameras on the front of these new motorbikes but they are in fact lights which flash to advise a vehicle to stop. Other images have been posted in the media of hidden cameras inside a roof box on a car, but the Guardia Civil never hide cameras to catch speeding motorists: their aim is to slow traffic down to the legal and safe speed. In Spain, there are five types of monitoring devices currently in use: Fixed Cameras: Located on the road network they monitor vehicles as they pass, recording those who exceed the speed limit. Newer versions can also look for seatbelt
and mobile phone use. Mobile Radars: These have an operator and are often in unmarked Guardia Civil vehicles and marked cars belonging to traffic reinforcement groups, including the DGT. Fixed-section Radars: These devices operate over a fixed distance of road and monitor the average speed of the vehicle between two points using automatic number plate recognition technology. These devices are often considered to give a more realistic impression of the speed as the driver doesn’t usually react instantly when they see one. Red Light Cameras: This type of equipment takes a photograph if the vehicle failed to stop at a red light. Pegasus Equipped Helicopters: Pegasus is the name of the recording device fitted to most of the DGT traffic helicopters. Distinctive by their yellow and light blue colouring, these ‘eyes in the sky’ can catch offending motorists from a kilometre away and at a height of 300m, recording the average speed and vehicle characteristics. Across Spain, there are 800 fixed cameras, 16 fixed-section radars and six helicopters equipped with Pegasus.

Is he interfering with post? MY question concerns postal mail delivery. A member of our Community of 20 units has taken it on himself to get the postman to put all the mail in his box and then, when he remembers, he distributes it to the other boxes. Sometimes he is away on holiday or in the UK and the mail is not distributed. Is this activity against the law? J.B. (Costa Blanca) INTERFERING with the delivery of the Spanish Postal Service is against the law. Correos is required to make every effort to deliver the mail to the person to whom it is addressed. So here we have a situa-

Prepare for the winter with Neater Heater WITH summer coming to an end it makes good sense to start thinking about your winter heating, especially for those expats who would like to use their Spanish holiday homes all year round, rather than just for the summer. We also urge new owners who have just moved to Spain this year, to consider their winter heating. All fuel costs are rising steadily whether you choose gas, oil, or electricity; it pays to make sure that whichever system you decide upon is efficient and economical. Remember: efficient means it does the job, and economical means it cheap to run. Many systems are one OR the other, but Neater Heaters are both. Neater Heaters are made in Norway, where they benefit from Scandinavian styling, and modern, state-of-the-art, design and materials. Whether wall-mounted or free-standing, you have the confidence that these heaters will be providing a more cost-effective efficient heat output than any of their rivals. Our ADAX standard panel heater offers the customer a cheaper option to the stylish BEHA heater, without compromising on the running efficiency and reliability that we have come to associate with Norwegian systems.

Pomegranate cultivation By Graeme Tyrrell THE fruits of the trees of the Mediterranean garden are bountiful at this time of year. If you have land there’s a rich variety of trees to grow here. Lack of rain over summer has meant many fruits are smaller than usual despite irrigation. Natural rainfall provides the best watering as it’s richer in atmospheric nitrogen which evaporates or dissipates when water is stored. Figs, quinces, grapes, olives, persimmons, pistachios, prickly pears, walnuts, chestnuts, hazelnuts, pecans, and pomegranates are all in season now. An easy to grow fruit for the garden or in a pot is the self pollinating pomegranate. To grow, select a good, sweet, soft seeded variety, such as Mollar. To plant, prepare a large hole filled with compost and the original soil mixed together before setting in the ground or in a container with potting mixture. They need careful watering the first year but once established are drought resistant.
Prune in winter after fruit has finished ripening and been harvested. Remove excess centre growth and shape to required form and remove dried fruit to reduce the chance of pests and disease for next season. Cut
away suckers at the trunk base. Harvest time is very precise as it won’t ripen off the tree. Pick when it reaches maturity but before it cracks and let it dry out a little as this concentrates sugars, making it sweeter.
choose to have their Neo heaters in one of four colours: white, black, silver and red. “By offering the Adax range as well as the
Beha range, we believe that we have all bases covered when it comes to electric convector heating,” says Tony. “Customers can now browse our website, or visit one of our distributors, and select a heater that totally suits their circumstances, whether it is a stylish Beha or Neo heater or a more utilitarian, but cheaper, Adax standard panel heater.” Buying now, allows you the comfort of having plenty of time to investigate our heaters against all others. We know the ones you will probably choose, as we made the same choice ourselves many years ago. In fact; we were so impressed we started a company.

OPINION & COMMENT
Truth, frustration and mixed messages when her predecessor was the target of much criticism – for recently it’s been her turn as the target of considerable retaliation in rushed-out memoirs by aggrieved followers of David Cameron. But say what you will about Dave, and believe me I have, didn’t he reveal something unusual in politicians on leaving Number 10: some self-awareness? When Tony Blair left, it was all drama. When Dave left, he admitted self-effacingly: “I was the future once.” The brutal decision to fire the ‘Cameroons’ and appoint the three Brexiteers may be the canniest move Mrs May ever made… or be the act of sowing the seeds of destruction of her premiership. Only time will tell.

HARD Brexit or soft Brexit? Should Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty be triggered now or later? There seems as much confusion in Britain as to its negotiating position and the timing of negotiations as there is frustration in Brussels. On the one hand, there’s international trade secretary, Liam Fox, making the case for hard Brexit – the UK outside the EU’s single market but with full control of its borders – and David Davis, the Brexit minister, saying much the same thing, while on the other, Boris Johnson, the foreign secretary, stating that claims of an ‘automatic link’ between single market access and freedom of movement were “complete baloney.” (He was rebuked by Mrs May for urging the government to ‘get on’ with triggering Article 50). Who envies Mrs May? Not only
BORIS JOHNSON: Rebuked by Theresa May. does she have these three alphamale Brexiteers to keep on message but also has to come up with a negotiation package that will unify the country. One thing’s patently clear though: whatever it is, it won’t sat-
isfy everyone. A soft Brexit won’t appease the millions who voted Leave, who expect curbs on immigration and an end to contributions to the EU budget. For them, only a hard Brexit will do.

VOLUNTEERS: Collecting for the charity on World Animal Day. EVERY year, Estepona-based dog rehoming charity ADANA is out in force on World Animal Day, collecting money to help in their work of caring for, and rehoming, abandoned dogs at their shelter in the Parque de los Pedregales, Estepona. This year organiser Susan
Brown was helped by a number of students from the Laude School, San Pedro, with their teachers. “The students were so helpful,” said Susan, adding they were a credit to themselves, their families, and their school. Susan said the charity was very grateful for the coopera-
tion of Carrefour, who for many years have allowed them to collect at their Estepona store, and also members of the public who donated cash, blankets and food for the dogs. Anyone interested in helping ADANA in their work should visit the website adana.es.

MANY people think they are being kind giving their dog freedom to bounce around the car, but actually dogs will feel much safer secured in a travel kennel, wearing a harness, on the floor of the car, or behind a dog guard. The National Canine Defence League urge dog owners to give their dog the same attention they would give a small child when they travel, and always make sure that the dog is restrained in the rear of the car. Dogs must get used to travelling in
CANINE CRUISING: It’s dangerous for dogs to hang out the window. vehicles, so it is best to get them used to travelling safely as soon as possible when they are young. I would not encourage holding puppies on the lap, this way you are training the puppy that this is the place to travel. As a dog gets big-
ger he is put in the back of the car and will not like the idea. This results in barking and jumping. Resulting in owners shouting and turning around, thus being unattentive to their driving. Many owners think that it is a good
idea to let dogs have their heads hanging out of the window of the car whilst travelling. This is dangerous for the dog and can cause many health problems to the eyes and to the nose. Never let your dog hang his head out of the window. Many a dog has jumped out of a travelling car through the window, resulting in death. In many parts of Europe it is an offence to allow dogs to be loose or unsecured in cars, and can be very costly in fines. A dog should never be left in a car during hot weather for longer than a few minutes. Owners should park in shaded areas keeping in mind that the sun moves. Even if windows are left open the temperature can reach 35 degrees in a few minutes. Dogs can suffer heatstroke in less than 10 minutes. From a training point of view it is a good idea to make dogs sit before allowing them into the car. When opening a car door dogs should be trained to stay, so that there is no chance of them jumping out onto a road and causing an accident or indeed killing themselves. There are many products on the market to ensure your pets safety and to ensure the safety of the car!

Prevention is best.
Autumn pet health AUTUMN’S here, bringing weather changes meaning dog owners need to pay extra attention to their pets’ health. Follow these tips to help prevent issues: - Keep protecting against parasites. Although there’s less parasites, benign autumns and winters are becoming the norm. Remember damp + heat = parasites. - Use a dog raincoat to keep it dry on walks and dry it off well once home to keep parasites at bay. - Watch their skin and coat. Some hair loss may be normal but bald patches or skin problems should be checked out by a vet.

(5 minutes from the Poligono) For more information call Marjorie 952 79 74 05 or 636 934 146 (93319) SEPE the horse and donkey charity is open to the public week-ends from 10.00 to 5.00. Volunteers are much needed in all departments and are welcome at anytime. For our riding for the disabled classes, we are also in need of extra helpers. We are nationally registered by the Spanish Ministry of the Interior (164640) but only with your support can we give the equine a voice. If you can just commit to 2 or 3 euros a month it will really help make a difference. You can find us at Lauro Golf Equestrian Centre, Alqueria, Alhaurin de la Torre. Tel. 608 258 950 info@sepeonline.net www.sepe online.net (93321) AT SOS ANIMAL REFUGE we have dogs, young and old looking for homes. Some of our dogs have been with us for some time and would love to find a cosy spot to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads. If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you. We do not put our dogs to sleep - no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive. We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect. So if you are having a clear-out, please contact us on 605 227 155. If you would like to know more about re-homing, please call 653 257 875. Visit our website www.sos-an imals.org or please phone Sandy on 952 385 923 or 666 814 056 if you would like to make a donation or help in any way.

“Only the Americans would invent a car polish you can eat.” Some might say...
Storming the big smoke By Matthew Elliott DAREDEVIL driver Mark Webber staged a wild stunt on the congested streets of central London when he took the Le Mans-winning Porsche 919 hybrid racing car out for a four-mile sprint from Park Lane to Westminster Bridge. Webber was offering an early glimpse of the new Panamera 4 E-Hybrid model and managed to stay under the city’s speed limit due to a tight outrider police escort, despite having almost 1,000hp under his toes.

Clarkson Top Gear clash FORMER Friends star Matt LeBlanc, who was an unexpected hit when he joined the new revamped Top Gear, will front the BBC show’s second series himself after radio DJ Chris Evans bowed out. He’ll be joined by Chris Harris and Rory Reid. Dubbed Flop Gear by fans who loathed Evan’s approach, LeBlanc rescued the show and his reward will be a £2 million deal. Unlike Evans, the American has an infectious enthusiasm for cars and even an ill-judged stunt doing donuts next to the Cenotaph in a Mustang didn’t derail the endearment train. However, it will compete with Jeremy Clarkson’s new show The Grand Tour due to launch through Amazon Prime in November.

Headlights are sculpted and smooth and almost a full half ton of weight has shifted from the 2016 model. It retains the timeless stepped roofline of its predecessors, is just under five metres long, and easily seats seven adults.

Miracle Mercury Cougar CLASSIC VEHICLE: The first Mercury Cougar ever produced will be showcased.
A MAJOR event is being scheduled to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the launch of the legendary Mercury Cougar. The Carlisle Ford Nationals is already one of the world’s biggest motoring events and next year’s will pay homage to the Mercury by showcasing the first Cougar ever produced, somewhat miraculously
found in tip-top condition in the hands of a local collector. This particular car was one of eight sent by Ford and Chrysler icon Lee Iacocca to Canada on loan in 1967. It returned to the dealership in 1979 and was sold to a local shopkeeper who got bored driving it after a few years and placed an ad for sale in 1982.
Nobody wanted the classic vehicle and it sat in his garage for 12 years until an avid Cougar fan came across the old 1982 motoring magazine and saw the ad and, feeling lucky, gave the owner a call on a whim. He still had the same telephone number, he still had the car, and absolutely he was willing to sell.

USA win Ryder Cup, Hamilton ‘blows up’ and City’s run ends Tony Matthews International Sports A former player and now the world’s most prolific author of football books with almost 150 published since 1975, Tony is also the sports correspondent for Spectrum Radio and lives on La Pilica in the Sierra Cabrera Mountains overlooking Turre. Costa de Almeria
GOLF Team USA won the 2016 and 41st Ryder Cup following three days of superb action at the Haseltine Club in Minnesota. The European Team were 4-0 and 5-1 down on day one, recovered to 5-3 and then trailed by three points at the end of day two. They failed to recover after that and eventually lost the contest by 17 points to 11 as the USA recorded their best win for 35 years. RYDER CUP: Three days of superb action.
This is not ‘sour grapes’ but how disgusting were some of the idiot USA supporters who chose to boo successful European putts and misses, and regularly heckled at European players on the tee. And by the way the coverage by Sky was pretty poor, especially the camera-work! FOOTBALL There were PL wins last weekend for Arsenal (just at Burnley), Chelsea, Liverpool and Spurs, the latter ending Manchester City’s sevenmatch winning run. West Ham, Stoke and Sunderland sit in the bottom three. Huddersfield remain top of the Championship, Scunthorpe and Plymouth lead Leagues 1 and 2 and Celtic are setting the pace in the SPL. In the Championship last Saturday, the match between two founder members of the League ended Preston 2 Aston Villa 0… and as a result Villa sacked manager Roberto di Matteo after just four months in charge!
Bayern Munich dropped their first points of the season with a draw against FC Cologne and here in Spain’s La Liga, it’s Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, Sevilla and Barcelona. We have 2018 World Cup qualifiers this weekend with England-Malta, Northern Ireland-San Marino and Scotland-Lithuania (Saturday) and Albania-Spain, Moldova-Republic of Ireland and Wales-Georgia (Sunday). There are several U21 European Championship qualifying matches as well. Gareth Southgate will take charge of England’s next four games (at least) following the sacking of Sam Allardyce. And he has already added Jesse Lingard (Manchester United) to his squad. Manchester City
beat Birmingham in the final of the women’s European Cup and victory gave City the double. David Herd, the ex-Arsenal, Manchester United, Stoke City and Scottish international has died, aged 82. FORMULA ONE Lewis Hamilton became the first Brit to have a century of front row starts in last Sunday’s Malaysian Grand Prix, but it all ended in disappointment for the Mercedes driver when, once again, his engine simply blew up (caught fire) on lap 43 when he was set to win the race. This has now severely dented his title hopes. Hamilton had dominated the race until flames started
pouring from his Mercedes, promoting him to say on the radio: “Oh, no, no.” After a gripping contest, Daniel Ricciardo beat Max Verstappen to a Red Bull one-two. Hamilton’s teammate Nico Rosberg finished third to extend his lead to 23 points with five races to go and 125 points available. The next race is in Japan this Sunday, followed by those in the USA, Mexico, Brazil and Abu Dhabi. After the Malaysian GP, a disgruntled Hamilton told BBC Radio 5: “My question is to Mercedes. We have so many engines made, but mine are the only ones failing this year. Someone needs to give me some answers because this is not acceptable. It does not sit right with me.” CRICKET Tomorrow England - without James Anderson, Mark Wood and Eoin Morgan play Bangladesh in the first of three ODIs in Sher-eBangla and there could be a senior debut for 19-year-old Lancashire opener Haseeb Hameed as well as Northants left-hander Ben Duckett. The second and third games take place on Sunday (in Dhaka) and next Wednesday in Chittagong. Wicketkeeper-batsman Jos Buttler takes over as One Day captain. RUGBY Rugby’s Su-
per League’s Grand final will feature Warrington Wolves against Wigan Warriors at Old Trafford on Saturday. In the semis Wolves beat St Helens and Warriors defeated Hull. Wasps thrashed Harlequins 47-18 to go top of Union’s Premiership with a 100 per cent record. HORSE RACING Found (6-1, ridden by Ryan Moore) won last weekend’s Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, ahead of Highland Reed (20-1) and Order of St. George (14-1). Trainer Aiden O’Brien saddled all three horses… and for the first time since 1975, there wasn’t a three-year-old in the first four. ROUND-UP Bearded 25-year-old Dundee boxer Mike Towell has died after being knocked out during his welterweight fight by Dale Evans in Glasgow a week ago. He was taken to hospital with bleeding to his brain but failed to respond to treatment. Meanwhile, GB heavyweight Tyson Fury has failed a random drugs test, although some say he may not fight again. Starting this weekend we have the Shanghai Masters tennis tournament (until October 16). LEWIS HAMILTON: “Someone needs to give me answers.”

The future of the Ryder Cup ONE of the key underlying themes at the 2016 Ryder Cup was the age-old European/ American rivalry, not in terms of golf, rather concerning manners. The brother of Masters champion Danny Willett described American fans as “fat, greedy, stupid, classless, (insert expletive).” Willett immediately apologised for his sibling’s remarks but later conceded that, given some of the behaviour on display at Hazeltine, his brother may have had a point. Wild cheering, calling out
on swings, willing missed putts, and a record number of ejections piled the pressure on the European team but they nevertheless remained magnanimous in defeat. Rory McIlroy said that they “wouldn’t encourage any sort of retaliation” in Paris in two years. “That’s just not who we are. That’s not what we do,” he added. There’s no dispute that the Americans won a well-deserved victory but the fan noise issue raises important questions for the future of what is very much a spectator sport. American golfing competitions already bear little resemblance to the more staid affairs of the past with tens of thousands of spectators carving out a carnival atmosphere more akin to the Superbowl. Cricket has followed suit and, despite its pretences otherwise, tennis has become almost
RORY MCILROY: Wouldn’t encourage any sort of retaliation.
a pantomime show at times, regardless of how firmly the umpire hushes. If the trend continues golfers may simply have to put up with racket and noise, screeching, howling and beer cans on the course. The fascinating part is, because the Ryder Cup takes place every two years, it’s almost impossible to predict how the situation will unfold. Even if French fans behave impeccably in Paris in September 2018, it’s still four years until the next Cup on American soil and by then raucous crowds could be the new norm stateside. Golf is facing an interesting crossroads and must decide whether its integrity and popularity is better served by opening up to fans of all shapes, sizes, and characters, or by retaining its quintessential elegance and holding firm against the tide.
